Picture Perfect Creations #31 & Our Creative Corner


Well...talk about a challenge!  Megan is giving us a very, shall we say, interesting, color combination over at the Picture Perfect Creations Color Combination challenge:


I love all of these colors but the two that gave me the most trouble were the Rose Red and the Riding Hood Red.  I went in search of a sketch that might help me make sense of this combo and found that Our Creative Corner has a nice one for us this week:


So- off I went... I filed two cards under "G" before I finally settled on this one:


Recipe - Stamps: Thankful Accents (Verve)  Ink: Rose Red  Paper: Whisper White, Perfect Plum, River Rock, Riding Hood Red, unknown pattern paper  Accessories: Satin Ribbon, sewing machine, paper piercer, Vintage Wallpaper EF, Seeing Spots EF, circle and scallop punch, adhesive pearls

And, again, I used stitching to attach the ribbon so it qualifies for Stampin' Royalty's "Stitching" challenge this week.

I hope you will take some time to stop and see what the rest of the PPC Creators did with these colors - their links are to the left in the sidebar.  Have fun and good luck!  LOL
